andybetween it andthe adjat' web 1e 0i -clined downwardly and inwardlyas indicated at 19a. In the front edges thereof,

` notches 20, best shown in Figs. 5 and 6 are "dow in closed positionthe lower side 26 of' cut, the purpose of which will later appear.Mounted substantially midway between the ends of the upper verticalsection 11 is a slidable catch 21 which may be dropped to hold thewindow in closed position or elevated to permit its outward tilting orelevation, as will beevident.

The window designed to be mounted in the window frame has a metal sashwith vertical sides bent into the form best shown in Fig. 3, eachincluding an innerV section 22 which lies inside of the adjacent part 16of the window frame, its front edge being turned outwardly to make thesection 23 which passes in front of the front edge of the adjacent part16 and is then turned to the rear to provide the section 24 which liesclosely adjacent and parallel to the inner side of the web 12. The anglebar track 19 is disposed between said section 24 and the part 16. Aroller 25 is mounted at the lower rear corner of each of the sections 24and bears on the tracks 19. The upper and lower rails 26 and 27 of thewindow sash are also of metal welded to the side members in any suitablemanner. Y In the construction shown a vertical partition 28 is disposedmidway between the ends of the window and is secured in place bywelding. The sides 22, the upper and lower rails k26 and 27 andthevertical partition L28 at theirgrear edges are provided with lateralflanges-29 which serve as a backing for the panes 30 of glass used. VAnysuitable retainers indicatedv at 31 hold the panes in place. Theseretainers may be of the character shown in my copending application forpatent. The lower rail 26 of the window sash at its inner rear edge alsohas a depending flange 32 which in the closed' position `of the windowlies back of thejvertical section 2 of the lowerv side of the windowframe. With the winf the sash rests upon the ledge 3, the flange 32lying back of the section'2 while the up' per flange 29turned'downwardly from the' upper side 27 bears against the verticalsection 9 of the upper side of the window frame, as shown in Fig. 2. VInthis position the latch 21 may be dropped'to pass in front of the frontedge of the upper side 27 holding the window securely in place. Thescreen 18 lies `in backk of the window,

as fully shown in section 2.

The window` may be tilted forward as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, it beingnecessary clined track 19a.

vback to vertical closed position or lifted bodily -to fully openposition, shown in Fig. 7. In order to bring the window to the fullyopen position there shown, it is bodily lifted, rollers 25 running onthe inclined tracks 19a and the vertical tracks 19 and then by turningthe window outward the lower edges of the sections 23 may be broughtinto engagement with and seat in the notches 20 whereupon the window issecurely retained in open position. In such position or in the tiltedposition shown in Fig. 6 it is evident that the screen 18 may be readilyremoved.

In Figs. 8, 9 and 10 a different and simpler form of the invention isshown. The upper and lower sides of the window frame are substantiallythe ysame as previously described, the only difference being that thesection 1 at its rear edge is providedv with a down turned flange 4a.The vertical sides are of different form. '.Ihey are bent into the shapebest shown in Fig. 10, including the rear section 33 having a shortsect-ion34 bent outwardly'at right angles, at its front edgethen beingbent into a forwardly eX- tending section 35, fromwhichvanother section36 is bent outwardly for a distance, being then again bent to extendforwardly as indicated at 37 and finally terminating in an outwardlyextending flange 38. The section 33 at its rear edge is provided with anoutwardly extending section 39 lying at right angles thereto. The windowsash is of substantially the same construction, with the the twosections 15 and 16 is absent from `'tracks 19 are formed near theirupper ends with outwardly pressed recess portions 20n of a shape thatthe rollers 25 may seat therein. 'Ihev latch 2151 used is alsoslightlydifferent being a pivotally mounted button instead of a slidablymountedvbutton.

yThe holding of the screen, the closingof the window, its tilting topartly open position and its elevation tofully open position,

are substantially the same as in theearlier described structure. Theonly difference is that when the window is lifted to fullyopen position,as shown in Fig. 9, it is held in such position by the rollers 25seating in said re-` considered comprehensive ot all forms of ltangular'rameliaving a 'front `and a rear vertical side, a window sash adaptedto tit cesses 20a. The et'fect produced and function performed is thesame in both cases.

This construction of window is simple and practical, economical tomanufacture and' It serves eveiy pur-v durable and etlicient. pose thatmay be desired. The invention is defined in the appended claims and isto be structure coming within their. scope.

I claim:

l. ln a window, open rectangular frame ot metal having vertical spacedapart sides, a metal flange spaced inwardly a short distance from eachvertical side of the frame and permanently connected. to said traine, abar of angle torni attached vertically to the outer side of each of saidflanges, each of the said bars having a downwardly and inward* lyinclined lower section and each having an' outwardly extending' flange,a sash traine adapted to be dctachably located in the opeiif ing of thelirst frame, said sash trame havin gg vertical sides ot U-shapc passingover the outer portions of said first langcs and cov ering the same, anda roller connected to the outer lcr of the U-shaped portion oi. each oisaid vertical sides of the sash frame at the inner side of said leg andextending over and back of the adjacent flange of the angle barconnected to the said flange embraced by said U'sliaped portion.

2. A construction containing` the elements in combination defined inclaim l, the lower side oit said openrectangular frame being);y formedwith an upstanc ing horizontal ledge on whichl the lower side ot thesash frame iiormallyi'ests, and the upper side ot the rectangular`framel having` a vertical ledgeygagainst which the back of the upperside of `the sash `framenormally bears, relcasable` means `forholding'the sash frame in vertical'V 'position within theopen'rectangular frame,r said. means when released permitting the sashframe to tilt outwardly at its upper end, from whichposition the sashtrame may be bodily lifted and turnedto an upper outwardly en`ltendednearly horizontal position, and means for retaining the sash framein the'latter position. f y A windowstructure comprising a. recwithinsaid frame and having portions overlapping the front vertical edgesotthe ra'me, a substantially vertical track on each vertical inner surfaceot thetraine and a guide mem loer mounted near thebottom of eachvertical edge of the sash to engageand traverse the rear surface of eachrespective track.
